Sen. Ron Johnson: To Call Biden Administration Incompetent Is Accurate – ‘It’s Just Too Kind’

(CNSNews.com) – President Joe Biden’s energy policies are to blame for the rising cost of oil, and therefore, gas prices, but that’s what the administration wants, because they want inflation and for people to be dependent on the government, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Sunday.

“Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo pointed out that Biden canceled the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in office, banned oil production on federal land, and reversed former President Donald Trump’s decision to allow Alaska oil drilling.

“To call President Biden and his administration incompetent is accurate. It’s just too kind. These are their policies. They want to drive up the price of fossil fuel. They want to drive up the price of energy so apparently we use less of it. Again, energy prices affect the price of every good and commodity. So again, this is exactly what they want,” Johnson said.

“They want open borders. They want deficit spending. They want to increase debt. They want to make Americans more dependent on government. They want increasing energy prices. They want inflation. This is what they want, and this is what was so disappointing in the last election,” the senator said.

“I tried to warn Americans, don’t elect people that want to fundamentally transform America. I said this repeatedly. ‘Do you like – much less even love – something you want to fundamentally transform?’ So no, they have put America on a disastrous path. We need to stand up to our history and yell stop. We need to sweep Democrats from power in the November 2022 election so we can stop the madness,” he said.

Bartiromo said that there are reports that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) wants to get rid of all the climate change-related provisions from the reconciliation bill, but she pointed out that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) would not go for that. 

When asked for his thoughts on whether the Democrats will be able to pass a reconciliation bill by Oct. 31, Johnson said, “I hope for Democrat gridlock. Oftentimes in Washington, D.C., gridlock is the better alternative, but when it’s Democrat gridlock, pray for it. I hope that’s exactly what happens.”
